The population history of the Nile (late Pleistocene to Dynastic time)

Below a nice recap of various archeological studies about the regional continuity of the Nile populations. It was taken from a study posted below.

quote:

The population history of the Nile has been of considerable recent interest and focuses on two competing hypotheses. The first suggests that the Egyptian dynasties developed in situ from the earlier Predynastic and Neolithic populations represented at sites such as el-Badari. The second scenario suggests that migration of people from western Asia led to the development of the Egyptian state (Petrie, 1920, 1939; Kantor, 1965). In general, the archaeological evidence suggests that the Egyptian state had an indigenous origin (Hassan, 1988). Two recent studies provide evidence for population dynamics in the Nile Valley throughout the Holocene. Zakrzewski (2007) demonstrates evidence for broad population continuity through time on the basis of craniometric variation, with some level of population movement . Several recent analyses of dental variation come to essentially the same conclusion (Irish, 2005, 2006; Schillaci et al., 2009). Thus, in the most general terms, there is strong evidence for population continuity along the Nile from the late Palaeolithic through the Egyptian Empire. However, the diffusion of agricultural technologies into the Nile from other regions, and the subsequent trade networks of the Egyptian empire, would have undoubtedly brought with it people and genes from other regions to varying extents through time and space.

Main points:

1 - In general, the archaeological evidence suggests that the Egyptian state had an indigenous origin
2 - Craniometry (and Dental variation) demonstrate broad population continuity through time on the basis of craniometric variation, with some level of population movement
3 - Strong evidence for population continuity along the Nile from the late Palaeolithic through the Egyptian Empire with some level of population movement
4 - Trade networks of the Egyptian empire, would have undoubtedly brought with it people and genes from other regions to varying extents through time and space.

So the main point here for us, is the STRONG evidence for population continuity in the Nile region from the late Pleistocene through the Egyptian Empire.

Taken from this study: Body Size, Skeletal Biomechanics, Mobility and Habitual Activity from the Late Palaeolithic to the Mid-Dynastic Nile Valley. Got it from here: (www.) pave.bioanth.cam.ac.uk/pdfs/033-Stock(2011HBTA)NileBiomechSize.pdf (you need to add the www. to the address, the forum doesn't allow me to post the full address)

The study by itself is also interesting as it analyses the consequences on the body of ancient specimens of the transition in the Nile from different lifestyles (hunting-gathering, pastoral, agriculture, etc).

We can also see it here:
 -

The peopling of the Nile was the product of the populations in the A map, from inner Africa, from the South, which expanded in the Sahara and then went back along the Nile to settle down during the desertification of the Sahara in search of greener pastures.

The problem with the Egyptians is they wasted a lot of energy making useless mountains of stone and gigantic statues of kings.
They were great artists though

@ ultimate. No rational person would think AE is anything but indigenous. But I am waiting on proof that migrants came into Egypt during pre-history. What are they basing this hypothesis on?

I think brother lamin would agree with me on the imperialism of the Egyptians and their grandiose king's projects. I've made such statements since I began posting

@Amun-Ra

Interesting, thanks.

Found this particularly enlightening:

“The inclusion of both early and late samples from Nubia was a necessity of the current study, which may have some implications for interpretation. Most early work considered Upper and Lower Egyptians to be genetically-distinct populations; however, more recent analyses suggest that these populations are not sufficiently distinct to consider either non-indigenous (Zakrzewski, 2007). A craniometric study found the Kerma population to be morphologically similar to a Lower Egyptian Predynastic population (Keita, 1990). Thus, while they may have existed on the margins of the growing Egyptian empire, their inclusion in comparisons of earlier Nubians and Nile Valley Predynastic samples appear warranted.” (p17)

How did I miss that?

The peopling of the Nile was the product of the populations in the A map, from inner Africa, from the South, which expanded in the Sahara and then went back along the Nile to settle down during the desertification of the Sahara in search of greener pastures.

^^Good data find. Stock's writing has been noted
before but your article lays out the things in 22
pages- not a summary but in detail- confirming
other data in multiple lines of evidence. I have
no problem with them saying that in pre-dynastic
times there must have been some outside movement
into Egypt. Sure. After all in the pre-dynastic, before
the rise of the formal dynasties there was trade
and warfare in what is now Palestine, etc. And nomads
of various sorts could always have infiltrated.
Small scale movement of war captives, merchants or
nomads is always possible, but they would be minor
players in terms of the overall population.

THis article is important in that it also contradicts
those who try to use body mass as an end run marker of
some sort of huge Kakakzoid influx into the Nile Valley.
But as Stock et al indicate, changes in body mass
are also associated with the transition to agriculture-
which includes high production foraging and sedentism
based on that. The Nile Valley peoples did not need
NEar Eastern crops, animals or people to boost food output.
Such imports indeed helped but a productive food base was
already in place without relying on the "Middle East."
And, No "wandering Caucasoids" are needed
to give the natives variation in how they look.


Of interest is the role of diseases that cause reduction
in stature and body size, again associated with
transition to agriculture. Agriculture can be positive
and negative as far as health- and yield a fluctuating
pattern. Again, there is no fundamental need to look
to mass influxes from "the Middle East" to explain
fluctuations in body size.

"In this study, skeletal measures of body size were analysed to evaluate the long-term impact of
the transition to agriculture in the Nile Valley. It has previously been noted that the transition to
agriculture in the Nile, Valley is associated with a deterioration and subsequent improvement
in health, as reflected by a dramatic increase in the frequency of linear enamel hypoplasia
between the Jebel Sahaba and el-Badari samples, followed by a reduction in frequencies in
subsequent populations of the Nile, including the Kerma sample (Starling and Stock, 2007).
Here, we demonstrate that this transition is also associated with a modest reduction and
subsequent improvement in stature and body mass. This trend could be broadly interpreted in
the contextof models of a relationship between body size and nutrition. In this case, the greater
body size of early hunter-gatherers may reflect the benefit of broadly-based hunting and
gathering subsistence. With the onset of the Neolithic, the dietary diversity of hunter-gatherers
is replaced with dietary specialization on one or a few cereal crops and the products of domestic
animals. The potential nutritional implications of this are further compounded by the potential
transmission of zoonotic diseases associated with living in close proximity to domestic
animals, as well as related increases in population density and poor hygiene. Increasing
sedentism and population density are almost universally associated with increases in infectious
disease (Cohen, 1989; Steckel and Rose, 2002; Stuart-Macadam and Kent, 1992) and may
underpin the reduction in stature in the Predynastic Period."

tropical redact sez:
“The inclusion of both early and late samples from Nubia was a necessity of the current study, which may have some implications for interpretation. Most early work considered Upper and Lower Egyptians to be genetically-distinct populations; however, more recent analyses suggest that these populations are not sufficiently distinct to consider either non-indigenous (Zakrzewski, 2007). A craniometric study found the Kerma population to be morphologically similar to a Lower Egyptian Predynastic population (Keita, 1990). Thus, while they may have existed on the margins of the growing Egyptian empire, their inclusion in comparisons of earlier Nubians and Nile Valley Predynastic samples appear warranted.” (p17)

^^Good point, glad you highlight it. Again, this contradicts
artificial attempts to split off "Nubia" separately
into some insinuated "race" format. The Nubians and
the Egyptians are the closest people in the Nile Valley.
It also defeats attempts to artificially split off
Upper Egypt as "different" from the rest of Egypt.
The authors point to craniometric data but limb
data also show that in that early era the proportions
of northerners group with African tropical types
rather than Europeans (Kemp 2005) and even Raxter/Ruff (2008)
who used mostly northern samples.

Good work Amun-Ra. Keep expanding the base- keep
accruing new data.

However I feel people get so obssessed on Egypt because of it's links to Western culture, influence on the Greeks etc, possible influence on Abrahamic religion, monumental stone work.
It can get to the point of a continued disassociation, even embarassment about West Africa. I prefer to look at African culture on it's own terms not trying to justify it by the fact that other cultures outside of Africa were influenced by it

I don't see the problem you have with the DNA Tribes results. They match Great Lakes, Southern Africans and West Africans more than any other population on earth (in or related to populations in the DNA Tribes database). It matches indigenous black African people. I don't see any problem. Who do you want them to match more? Middle Easterners? Modern Egyptians? Don't be ridiculous. The results are there for everyone to see. We also know Ancient Egyptians are indigenous Africans from this thread.

Ok, that's a better point you got there.

For one, it has been proven than Meroitic is a Nilo-Saharan language. So they were Nilo-Saharans. I guess other ethnic groups joined them along the years in this great empire. It's often the case with large empire which become major trading centers too.

In the thread dedicated to it, I said:
quote:
It must be said that this also goes in line with the ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis of neolithic remains in Sudan which shows A-M13 being the main haplogroup among early settlers . A-M13 is prevalent in Sudan among modern day Dinka (62%), Shilluk (53%), Borgu (35%).
Here I just wanted to place Nilo-Saharan speakers in the region of the Kushite empire. Not as migrant but as founder. Nobody knows for sure the whole genetic profile of the Kushites population but when you know, from linguistic, that they are Nilo-Saharans you can see why I mention A-M13 since it's a prevalent haplogroup among Nilo-Saharans in Sudan. That's all.

As the Hassan paper it mentions:
quote:
Accordingly, through limited on number of aDNA samples, there is enough data to
suggest and to tally with the historical evidence of the dominance by Nilotic
elements during the early state formation in the Nile Valley

While then he talks about the dominance of Nuba/Nubians. For me, that's enough to place Nilo-Saharans in the Kushite region during the early state formation. Nuba people and Nubians speakers are Niger-Congo (Niger Kordofanian) and Nilo-Saharan speakers respectively. We also know than Nubians arrived much later and led to the fall of the Meroitic/Kushite empire.

So I combined the two. The presence of Nilo-Saharan A-M13 in the early state formation and the fact that Meroitic is a Nilo-Saharan language. I don't think the Kushite or any ancient civilizations had only one haplogroup. That's ridiculous. Populations are always composed of many haplogroups and lineages. Larger empires often composed of many ethnic groups.


quote:

What about the fact that your dumbass keeps posting
Rosa et al 2011's image of the distribution of
E-M2 in Africa when Ramses' e1b1a is not at all
the same thing as E-M2. You've been clued into
this fact but you just keep on perpetuating your
lying ass self-serving case.

Many West Africans are E1b1a carriers so is Ramses III according to the study. I don't see the problem you have with that. I never claimed that West Africans are descendants of Ancient Egyptians, I just said they share common ancestors as do many other African populations between each others. West Africans carry both E-V38 and E-M2. E-V38 being ancestral to E-M2.

So Ramses III and modern West Africans share both the common E-V38 and E-M2 ancestor. So they, their ancestors, were once part of the same population in Eastern Africa.

This is testament to the fact that you have no
idea what the hell you're talking about. In your
mind Hawass et all verified both of these SNPs,
while in reality, the Y chromosome can be
theoretically anything immediately prior and in
between E-V38 and E-M2, including lineages we
don't know about. The most logical conclusion is
that Ramses III was E-M2, given the exclusive
presence of this branch of e1b1a in Egypt, but
your dumbass confuses this plausibility for your
politically motivated wet dream that Ramses III
was factually E-M2 and that this was proven,
hence your retarded and misplaced outrage
tantrums when someone tells you otherwise and
shoves your face in the facts. This is when you
typically come with idiotic outbursts like "you
just don't like the DNA results".

We all know about the study, the Whit Athey's Haplogroup predictor assigned E1b1a as the Ramses III haplogroup. Not some other haplogroups.

If this is true then Ramses III and West Africans do share a common ancestor. As do all V38 and M2 carriers. Are you bothered by that?

It's meaningless. A European black person would never attempt to do that

I advocate black people who were born in America when asked say they "African".
They aren't required to spell it out "African American" .
Chinese American people will say they are Chinese probably more often than "Chinese American" .
But again it is another lie. Somebody says they remembered a time when I called myself simply "African".

We can clearly see on the graph that all E-M2 carriers are also E-V38 carriers. So if Ramses III carry either one of those haplogroups then him and West Africans do share a common ancestor (in Eastern Africa). As do all E-M2 and E-V38 carriers between each others.

Will you really start every one of your posts with an insult? It's getting ridiculous. How old are you? I think people get it, you don't' like me or my posts.

I don't think E-M2 and E-V38 are synonymous. It just that all E-M2 carriers are also carriers of E-V38. How many times do I need to repeat that before it gets into your thick head.

So if Ramses III is a E-V38 carrier (of whatever type), it means he shares a common ancestors with E-V38 carriers in West Africa. All E-M2 carriers in West Africa and elsewhere are also E-V38 carriers. We can clearly see it on the graph you posted. Since E-V38 is ancestral to E-M2.

which was found in some mummies. Much of Egypt's
E-M2 and R-V88 seems to have a West African
provenance as well. However, its plainly false to
say that all E-V38 is automatically E-M2. Its also
plainly false to say that all E-M2 is necessarily

why? I'm not motivated by dogma unlike some of the

And anyone who disagrees "doesn't like the results".

Again, just to be clear, I do think Ramses III's
haplogroup is most likely E-M2. This is simply
due to the present day breakdown of E-V38 in
modern Egypt, which, to my awareness, is
exclusively E-M2. However, that Ramses III was a
carrier of this branch is simply my view. Nowhere
do I say that this came out of the paper nor do I
post images of E-M2's distribution to make it seem
like E-V38 has no substructure like some of the
dogmatists here to whom the AE being simply
African is not enough; they have to bend the
evidence out of shape to tie themselves or their
ethnicity to AE history. Super pathetic.

I agree with that. As I said in the other thread, most East and West Africans are united under the E-P2 haplogroups. So at one time, they lived at the same location and had the same "parent", the E-P2 carrier. The location is East Africa since E-P2 is said to have originated in East Africa (Trombetta study).

So most Niger-Congo, Cushite and Chadic speakers carry the E-P2 haplogroup (the P2 mutation) and share a common origin in Eastern Africa.

LOL. Afro-Americans are not forgetting their direct ancestry by acknowledging their Egyptian origins because AAs are a Pan-African people due to slavery in the US. In the US, slave masters usually tried to limit the number of slaves from the same nationality/ethnicity resident on their plantations. Then after 1800 due to the Inter-State slave trade when the average slave was sold before the age of 5 years, the vast majority of AAs knew nothing about their ethnic origin.

As a result, when Diop proved that west Africans formed part of the egyptian population, AAs could claim direct descent from the Egyptians.

Also, many AAs adopted Egyptian as a result of Afrocentric research traditions.

Lets look at the Language traditions of the Afrocentric [Social] Scientific Community, To study ancient afrocentric studies the africalogical researcher has had to become skilled in understanding and reading non-English languages. DuBois noted that:

"The time has not yet come for a complete history of the Negro peoples. Archaeological research in Africa has just begun, and many sources of information in Arabian, Portuguese, and other tongues are not fully at our command....(p.3)".

For the heroes of africalogical research such as Delany, Blyden, DuBois, Parker, Perry and Williams, a knowledge of Latin and \or Greek was a requirement for normal scientific study of the classical and Old Testament literature which served as the basis for the creation of the theoretical paradigms associated with ASAH.

In addition to possessing a reading knowledge of these Eurocentric classical languages for Western thought, africalogical researchers, like W.E.B. DuBois and J.A. Rogers have also had to have a knowledge of modern European languages. This has been necessary because of the fact that much of the research supporting the ASAH paradigms has usually been published in French and German. One of the reasons that many of the contemporary africalogical researchers interested in early history use outdated references in their work, is due to their ignorance of French and German.

Proficiency in a language other than English, helped africalogical researchers conduct the normal africalogical social science. It was DuBois' (1965, 1970) and Hansberry's knowledge of German that allowed these afrocentrists to conduct research into the role of Blacks in Egypt and Ethiopia. J.A. Rogers mastered many languages including French and German to prove that Blacks inhabited almost every continent on the globe. Dr. C. A. Winters (1977,1981\1982, 1985, 1991, 1994) had to learn Arabic, Chinese, Malinke, Portuguese, Otomi, Mayan, Swahili, Tamil and Tokharian (Kushana) to conduct his africalogical studies of Blacks in Asia and the Americas.

In the 1960's due to the rise of independence in the east African country of Tanzania, Swahili became a language used by africalogical social scientists. Swahili terms were used to explain and define the phenomena associated with africalogy. This is one of the reasons that the terms used in the Kwanza ceremonies practiced by blacks are Swahili lexical items (Coleman, 1971).

Swahili is still used to explain aspects of Africana studies, among africalogical researchers but today Egyptian is recognized as the classical language for africalogical research (Wimby, 1980). Diop (1974,1991) popularized the idea that Egyptian should be used as the classical language for the study of ancient africalogical language and historical studies. As a result, most of the africalogical researchers today concentrate on Egypt and use Egyptian terms to explain the culture and Proto-African language of Africa people (Carruthers, 1977,1980).

As you can see white supremacy has nothing to do with AAs admiring Egyptian culture and language.

the lioness,

Theres an R&B singer that is accepted by Black Americans Lioness. Name Akon.

The thing is though is that Not an expert on others too much but Egypt is definetly overplayed. Want to branch out to other parts of Africa like Niger, Senegal etc.

What I know about those countries is that Senegal largest Ethnicities are the Wolof who speak an language that is akin to Egyptian.

If you really LISTEN to Africans speak you may find commonality(probably wrong) with language. Don't let the accents throw you off. AA are the Prime leaders of the Black community. The thing though is that they have become stagnant in inovating that is needed to Not only Grow African Americans, but other Ethncities also. Maybe its paranoia that they will lose credit for inventions that They have made. All I know is that without inovaters we will be stuck. Look around you Lioness, The world ALWAYS gives you keys to unlocking ablities and inventions. Everything Grows, Breathes and dies. What we have to understand is that patience and respect unlocks inventions.

We still don't know how the egyptians created the pyramids because we don't think. We claim slavery, trees being chopped down and rolled etc. Maybe as we as an human community relys on eachother(groupthink) then we can stop the stupid foolishness of race and slavery nonsense and realize that the Egyptians, Iraqis, Zimbabweans were FREETHINKERS and did not believe that there potential could be stopped by what we believe are limitations. Credit Must first be shown back to the African American community before we can move forward. Reparations(or something like that) would be an start.

I was feeling some of what you were saying and thank you

Maybe we should be given reparations but almost nobody is talking about it these days. I think because of the recession there would be a big backlash in talking about it.
That doesn't mean it shouldn't be talked about if it's justice.
But I don't think reparations or being given credit should be linked to free thinking. Free thinking is separate. That's why it's free. It's not held back by due credit.

You mistaken some of my post Lioness.

Did not mean that AA need reparations for Freethinking.

I mean To Free the minds of ALL people begin with humbleness, Foregivness and admiting when you are wrong. Racists, dont do this.

Until that happens of course things will be stifled. Reparations is just an avenue and steps towards that.

Also if you watch the socalled news entertainment like CNN, CTV, NBC etc all your feeded is negativity. That closes peoples minds.

African Americans Do NOT look the way they do because of euro admixture. They do because Africa is most diverse continent.

Free thinking begins with inside think, and outside expression(yeah I know its been said). When people realize yes rough times sometimes, does not mean you vent against the people. Listen to music or what ever releases that stress or makes you chill.

If it is the words in there book of the dead then why all the fuss about west this and east that? African Links are evident.

I want to say something more about this.

It's really important to understand that Ancient Egyptians are Africans not only geographically, but biologically, genetically, historically and culturally. Africans like Wolof, Somali, Yoruba, Bantu, Dinka, Nubian, Afar, Kongo etc.

There's some people who seek to divide African between each other. I don't know why. But in reality there's a strong historical and cultural affiliation between various African populations all across Africa, including Ancient Egyptians. There's both differences and similarities. Like European, East Asian, Native Americans populations, African populations like Wolof, Somali, Yoruba, Bantu, Dinka, Nubian, Afar, Kongo etc are genetically close to each other.

You can see it for example here:

From here: http://www.dnatribes.com/sample-results/dnatribes-global-survey-regional-affinities.pdf
http://www.dnatribes.com/dnatribes-digest-2012-01-01.pdf (for the AE mummy results)

So as you can see on the genetic distance tree between populations above. African people, as well European, East Asian, Native peoples, etc, are genetically close to each other. They form a genetic family called "Sub-Saharan African" by DNA Tribes. So when DNA Tribes says Ancient Egyptian mummies matched African people, they meant the Sub-Saharan African category above. The Great Lakes, Southern, West and Sahelian African genetic families.

A bit as a joke, but with some seriousness too. I posted an altered image of the graph above placing the Ancient Egyptian population where I think they would be in the graph.

 -

Of course other people may place the Ancient Egyptians population to some other location on the Euclidean distance tree. But considering the DNA Tribes results on the Ancient Egyptian mummies, they should place it awfully close to the so-called Sub-Saharan African genetic families thus the Great Lakes, Southern, Sahelian and Tropical West African African genetic grouping. Let's recall from this thread than Ancient Egyptians are indigenous Africans. Not people from Europe or the Middle East.

So Ancient Egyptians are Africans not only geographically, but biologically, genetically, historically, culturally, etc.

On the genetic angle, African populations (including Ancient Egyptians) are genetically close to each other as Europeans, East Asians, Native Americans, etc to each other.

Libyan, Caucasian, Arab, Pelasgian, Negro, Bushman, Mongol, Hamitic, Hamito-Semitic- even Red Indian and Australian aboriginal) were alleged to have migrated into the Nile Valley." . Indeed Keith (1905:92) complained that the literature at that time included hopeless contradictions of three, six, one and two races."[5]

Later work was sometimes marked by the same pattern with even Cro-Magnons being thrown into the mix.[6] Berry and Ucko also note most Egyptologists in earlier years "are at pains to disclaim any Negro element in the Egyptian populations after the predynastic period except for the population of Sudanese Kerma.." while producing shifting definitions of exactly what 'negroid' was. Quote:

".. the basic weakness of all claims to distinguish or decry Negro elements on the basis of metrical analyses is the absence of any rigorous population comparisons to isolate particular features which can be described as negroid. It is typical of this unsatisfactory situation that F.P [Petrie] 1928:68) although basing himself entirely on the original Stoessiger report, could sumarise the Badarian skull material in terms which denied any serious Negro element."[7]

Disclaiming any hint of negroid presence, Petrie held that the ancient Egyptian skulls in question were of Indian origin, some thousands of miles distant, versus the surrounding area, or those further south, which were within a few hundred.[8]

Yes. Even in modern Egypt, there's still many people who are still genetically connected at different levels to Africans populations and thus Ancient Egyptians.

In this genetic distance tree (Tishkoff):
http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/8691/5gmh.jpg

We can see that some Middle Eastern populations like the Palestinians are genetically closer to African people than European or Indian populations. Neighboring regions always trade and exchanges genes between one another to various degree through time. We can see it in every genetic studies.

The study says the Ancient Egyptian had an indigenous origin. But it doesn't mean that was no genetic input from neighboring regions like the Middle East at all. In the sense, that even Ancient Greece and Rome probably had some African genetic input at some low level (maybe lower, I would say). The study mentions that trade networks of the Egyptian empire, would have undoubtedly brought with it people and genes from other regions to varying extents through time and space. This is before any foreign occupation of Ancient Egypt (15th Dynasty by the Hyskos).

Let's say, that I feel sorry for people who's only acquaintance to African history is through this or other online forum/blogs or even history websites.

Some people may be too busy or simply have other interests, but personally, I like to read about African history (among other things like watching movies, sports, etc). As I said above, it's almost like reading novels but instead the stories are real.

Well, it's very vast and each people have their own interests. From Ancient Egyptians to the Wodaabe passing by the Zulu, Kongo and the Fang.

I never ordered from them, but that site:
http://www.africanbookscollective.com/ often have books that I'm interested about (I often stumble on that site when doing google search).

People can also cross check publishers (if you find an interesting book, check other books published by the same publisher). For example, check all the history books published by the University Press, Nigeria, if that region's history interest you. Same thing for other regions or other interests.

I also suggest visiting local libraries.

I'm tired of this back-inda-dayz ****.
Those people are just about all gone.
Either
1 - they could not adapt so they "died"
2 - they have no idea of STRUGGLE

I was looking at Rufus Perry (1880's)
and James Parker (19teens) among other
works I used to vend circa 1979-1982
and luckily still own that were re-issued
by GK Osei and the then fledling Black
Classics Press in "homemade" pamphlet
format.

You will find damn near exactly the
same arguments presented then (hell
even back to expurgated Volney from
the slavery era) as found on ES from
2004 to tomorrow.

Why? Because the struggle is continuous
(aluta continua). The very same stupidities
countered over 100 years ago are alive and
kicking today and some of it is not even
altered while some of it is slicked up
and comes out the mouths of current
population geneticists.

Those who shield themselves in private ivory
towers or retreat from public fields of battle
over Africa and all things African or think
ES is just spinning its wheels getting nowhere
do not understand the meaning of our struggle
nor the value it presents to those who really
know nothing but want to learn what they will
never ever get taught in school.

This is why some of us persevere and struggle.
Yearn and learn, each one teach one, is what
we do.

Here's to all who continue our struggle
no matter tedious or repetitive it seems
because we never know who we will reach
and what they will produce in the offline
real world.

It's not our job to finish the work
yet we cannot stand aside and look.

From time to time I broach a thread
and no will contribute while bullshit
threads go on with page after page of
shitshat and trivialities. So what?

No, ES will never be what it once was.
But who is in the ongoing struggle to
make ES as worthwhile as possible under
conditions that do try even the best of
us?

Those who won'tt continue the struggle
shut up and disappear back to whereever.

Like it or not the American standard for " blacks" is
people with light to dark brown skin and afro hair.

When some body talks about black people in America, they not talking about other dark folk like some Indians, Paksitanis and Arabs. They are talking about people who have afros. This is why somebody like Barack Obama is referred to in America as a black person, even though he is much lighter than his father and is half European genetically. It's the afro hair that is decisive in the American social constuct of blacks.
In some parts of Europe a dark skinned Turk with straight hair might be called black. However such people, dark Turks, Indians, South Asians, Pakistanis are not called black in America.
Americans call such people "Arabs", "Asians", "brown skinned" or one of the nationalities I just mentioned.

The Oxford Encyclopedia says the ancient Egyptians were "blacks" according to the American definition (excluding late period 26 dynasty + )
The American definition of "blacks" (not "black skinned" people but "blacks")
is people from light brown to dark brown who have afro type hair.

Therefore any mummies you see that seem to have wavy straight hair is due to the ancient Egyptians straightening their hair, if not the mummies are misidentified or tampered with.

But there were no such qualifications
as "modern cultural definitions" all
the centuries since the Napoleon
expedition to now when Americans
Europeans Australians and others
used their standards to point
blank say AEs were white.

And they were scientists mind you.


Yet, what anyone of any culture
can see, i.e., the varied brown
skin complexions the overwhelming
majority of AEs had, needs a
begrudged weakened statement
that AEs were "black" (in quotes)
only by modern American standards
and cultural definitions.

Hell during USA slavery their "blacks"
were just as physically diverse as now.

Smith's statement is only a pyrrhic victory
when one realizes precisely what his words
mean depending on who's reading it. Eg.,
"black" but not negro as in all Africans
are not black meaning nearly all the
Afro-Asian speakers of the north
countries and even black skinned
Ethiopians etc.

Like Henn with her blackless Egypt
until 1250 CE and blackless North
Africa until 800 Common Era despite
iconic and textual disconfirmations.


The game is:
we can't tell what makes for a black
and we will narrow it down to negro
so one can be black but not a negro
but it's obvious to us what white is
in all its broad based inclusive glory

codewords:
Eurasian
Indo-Aryan
west Eurasian
caucasoid
Caucasian
white

USA census etc:
whites =
people having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa

If "black" were a scientific definition you would not have to put it in quotes in a scientific context.

The American definition of "blacks" is "Negroes"
is people with brown skin and afro hair.
That means anybody with brown skin and an afro regardless of if they are North, East, West or South African.

The modern American definition is the societal definition of "Negro" -anybody with dark skin and an afro.
Not some other 19th century definition that might exclude Ethiopians, Somalis or other East Africans.
The American definition is that if people have afros and dark skin they are Negroes aka Blacks.
The old scientific racism variants which Coon based on are NOT the modern American definition that most people go by, not at all.

No American person today looks at an Ethiopian who has an afro and says they are not black

So if you go back to Napoleon's time and Europeans were saying the AEs were white that doesn't mean the definition of black and white is necessarily different. It means they were placing the AE's into what the Oxford Encyclopedia would say is the wrong category to put them into.
So if the Oxford Encyclopedia says they are not whites but blacks according to the American standard that means someone with brown skin and an afro and it doesn't matter if they are East African, Ethiopian according to the American definition blacks have afros and can be from any location. That is the current American definition, in my opinion.

It's easy to test. Show a photo of an Ethiopian or Somali with an afro to the average American, no doubt if you ask them what race they are they will say black.

Show them an Indian with straight hair and ask them what race they are they will say "Indian" , "Arab" , "Brown" or "Asian"
They won't say "Black"

Like it or not that is the current 21st century American definition. Lamin pointed it out in another thread, people who pass the pencil test.
You may not like that definition but that is the American definition of today

Now go back to the thread title

"The Ancient Egyptian state had an indigenous African origin"

^^^ if you have a statement like this you don't even have to get caught up in the varying points of view on what the unscientific word "black" means or if some people have an afro or not. > "indigenous" is the key word, indigenous African

On this one the lioness is right and Tukuler is wrong.

The Oxford Encylopedia of Ancient Egypt goes further than just stipulating that Ancient Egyptians were "blacks" by American standard. Which is already the strongest statement to say Ancient Egyptians were black Africans like "sub-Saharan" Africans. Negroes to use a slightly more archaic American racial term. They also state some archeological facts demonstrating the linkage between Ancient Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africans.

"Archaeological evidence also strongly supports an African origin. A widespread northeastern African cultural assemblage, including distinctive multiple barbed harpoons and pottery decorated with dotted wavy line patterns, appears during the early Neolithic (also known as the Aqualithic, a reference to the mild climate of the Sahara at this time). Saharan and Sudanese rock art from this time resembles early Egyptian iconography. Strong connections between Nubian (Sudanese) and Egyptian material culture continue in later Neolithic Badarian culture of Upper Egypt. Similarities include black-topped wares, vessels with characteristic ripple-burnished surfaces, a special tulip-shaped vessel with incised and white-filled decoration, palettes, and harpoons. The presence of formative pharaonic symbolism in the Lower Nubian A-Group royal burials at Qustul has led Bruce Williams to posit a common Egyptian-Nubian pharaonic heritage, although this notion has been much disputed. Other ancient Egyptian practices show strong similarities to modern African cultures, including divine kingship, the use of headrests, body art, circumcision, and male coming-of-age rituals, all suggesting an African substratum or foundation for Egyptian civilization." - The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt (2001)

This in fact pretty much goes in line with the article from this thread which talks about an indigenous African origin for the Ancient Egyptian state. Same thing could be said about current aDNA data.

so the struggle is already near won, now what ?

Look at the modern Greeks, knowing that their ancestors were ancient Greeks has not enabled them to sustain a cutting edge for quite a while, many hundreds of years

If you want to activate the lineage you have to take it and update it,
If not let it rest and start something new

I didn't use the word struggle anywhere, you're mistaking me for somebody else.

For me, it's really about deciphering and learning more about the history of African people (including Ancient Egyptian). Also from time to time other people's history. I also like Roman/Viking/Ancient Greece movies. It's really about learning more.

that word struggle was from Tukuler's post

you thought there was a need to make a thread that asserted the Egyptians were indigenous Africans. The fact that you felt need to state that, make a thread with that title, could be the struggle

Only for those who are naïve to two facts

1 - current American standards are not world standards throughout all time

2 - the majority of academicians define N and NE Africans as non-black


It is well known that certain Black Americans only
slightly resemble inner African phenotypes and are
classed as black due to sometimes no more than one
out of eight great grand parents being an African
and because they were culturally raised in the
Black American community.

Smith is saying if you go by fast and loose current
American ideology you could call AEs black but once
you apply other standards they are not. One needs to
know how dialectics work to grasp this and other ideas
left unspoken but plain as day to those reading between
the lines.

But Smith is wrong because all down the ages AEs
are documented as black by all who saw them from
ancient Hebrew and Greek primary documentation
right up to the Napoleonic expedition after which
AE blackness had to be denied. And this was long
before the transatlantic trade and the invention
of the American Negro, one drop, etc.

This is where the need arose to invent non-black
indigenous Africans: Speke's Hamites; caucasoid
north and east Africans; etc.

You, being a non-black / non-African show you
have absolutely no idea of struggle or what
the struggle is about, or what is being
struggled for and are unaware of the

the statement carries zero weight unless you can name names. It's BS

And the subject is Ancient Egyptians not modern N and NE Africans


What you want is for some white guy writing and encyclopedia to say "The Egyptians were Black"

no quotes around "black" no small "b"s.

But then the infinate suspicion comes in "but how are they defining Black? " - are they covertly defining "Black" in some way we might not like ?
But any definition is a problem >> do you have one ?
So it's an infinate GAME, no one really wnat a firm definition they want it to be whatever for the given moment. It's not scientific observation it's political semantics
and people want to chase their tails forever

Besides the utter stupidity of
your definition which you foist
upon all Americans,

is it equally true and applicable
to when north and east Africans
are defined as white/Caucasoid?


Seems there's only confusion and
restrictive limitations when it
comes to who is black (something
you champion as if your life
depends on it).

Who is white on the other hand...
why we never hear a peep out of
you on that subject and definition.

It's worthless without naming current people who hold this view by name, not crackpot fringe people, people who write academic books/articles or NYTimes best sellers.

Some African citizens are caucasian,
some part caucasian, some part Arab, some part Indian. This is also a fact.

So. I hope ultimate get my point. Most North Africans has ownership of the continent.....irregardless of what is going through their tiny Moslem heads. They have been sharing the continent with there brothers further south since the beginning of AMH. They are Africans through and through. No admixture needed.

Take a look at the religious violence going on in CAR and a little while ago in Mali. I wouldn't call it brotherly

Nonsense

USA definition already given;
"original peoples of Europe, Mid-East, and N Africa."
2/3rds textbook whites since in real life Arabs, "Arabs,"
Berbers, Upper Egyptians, Sudanese, Ethiopians, Somalis, etc
are nowhere in USA Europe Australia SouthAfrica considered white

USA definition of black
"origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa"
idiotic definition since subject is included in the definition;
also assumes some unmentioned pre-existing definition of black
supposedly known to all.

Still waiting for
the Lioness
definition of white.

Caucasian mind you, not merely caucasoid.


The 1964 USA Civil Rights Act classified all
Jews as white and so under a different set of

As the study from this thread (first post) and the Oxford Encyclopedia stated. The archaeological continuity of the Ancient Egyptian state, including material and biological, is with Africa not the Middle East. The Ancient Egyptian state had an African origin.

" Moving to the opposite geographical extremity, the very small sample populations available from northern Egypt from before the 1st Dynasty (Merimda, Maadi and Wadi Digla) turn out to be significantly different from sample populations from early Palestine and Byblos, suggesting a lack of common ancestors over a long time. If there was a south-north cline of variation along the Nile valley it did not, from this limited evidence, continue smoothly on into southern Palestine.73 The limb-length proportions of males from the Egyptian sites group them with Africans rather than with Europeans.

Speaking about blackness and Aframs compared to "inner Africans - not my words" and watching the NFL games all season. Did anyonr notice how "African" the pregame preparations are? Is it a black thing or African thing.? Do people in New Guinea prep like that? I believe the black Somoans prep like that also.
